Indeed. I have been making my TVs "smart" since around 2001 so that I could watch content from my computer on the TV. I've done it all from DivX CD players to a home theatre PC to network streaming boxes. Back in the 00s I ha

I think the needless insult at the very start of your comment is why it is being downvoted. You make valid points but your language makes people not want to listen to you.

This is the most Hacker News comment I’ve read in a while. Also would love to know how you are doing Dolby Vision playback for example as I’ve never found a reliable way to do Dolby Vision on Windows, macOS or Linux.

LG webOS is still one of the better experiences on smart TVs for sure. It is generally smooth with good app support and experience and like you said limited built in ads. While not perfect it is the system I like the most if I have to use a

Smart TV stories really show the bubble that many here are in. “Why would anyone use a Smart TV?! Just build a home theatre PC to connect to your old TV via a 60ft HDMI cable and use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I’ve been doing this sinc

Most people I know don’t have a PC or don’t have a PC they can easily connect to a TV as it is in another room and not easily moved. For those that do, such as those with a laptop, they don’t want the inconvenience of connecting it to the T

If you ask any random person on the street "is Gmail free?" they will answer yes just like Wikipedia calls Gmail a free email service and if you search for "best free email services" Gmail is usually top of the list. I f

Yes, yes we all know that. That is being very pedantic though as to OPs mother (and the vast majority) Gmail and the related Google services were 'free' in that she didn't enter her credit card details and pay a monthly/

Sorry for the stress this is no doubt causing your mother. Unfortunately I have seen similar and they never recovered access. It is just lost to the void that is Google support for their free services. Yes I know it is the risk you run usin

Generally yes having a very high performing member on the team is a good thing. However there are situations where it can cause problems with the team morale and dynamic. As well as sometimes very serious/catastrophic issues. Say you h

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion tbh. Every week I teach teenagers and adults that want to learn to code. Almost all because they want a career as a software developer. I don't see those learning to code as competition

Simple. Don't say either way. How often do we see "learn to code" as a solution to jobs that have gone away for whatever reason? Over the past ~15 years I've seen it almost everywhere as literally the only advertised o

Depends on the crime, I know a few doctors and nurses that have criminal records. But I accept your point. However I was not talking about those with a criminal record. Like in the comment I was replying to where learn to code programmes we

While I love my OLED TV (LG C8, had it 4 years now) there is one thing I still preferred with my plasma TVs and that is motion. OLED is great but the near instant pixel response means for lower frame rate content such as movies (24p) and mo

I believe you are thinking of the Adguard Plus browser extension. We're talking about the Adguard Home DNS blocker which is a totally separate thing.

by satysin 4y ago
In my experience none of the DNS blockers such as Pi-Hole or Adguard block YouTube ads. In the browser uBlock Origin handles this fine. On device you need to use a third party app to view YouTube that has adblocking functionality built in.

I recently switched from Pi-Hole to Adguard Home just to try it out. So far the user experience isn't any different but I have to say the Adguard web UI is quite nice. I have to say installation on Ubuntu Server (which I run on a Pi4 j
